[OE-core] [PATCH 0/4] linux-yocto: kernel version updates

[Bruce Ashfield]

Hi all,

Here is the latest updates to the linux-yocto kernel versions, and represents
the versions that we'd like to be included in the upcoming release.

Those versions are:

 - 4.1:  LTSI
 - 4.9:  LTS
 - 4.10: 'latest'

I've also updated the linux-libc-headers to 4.10 to match.

I built and booted this kernel and libc-headers update against qemu (all
arches, all word sizes) and I also built the same images against musl as
the c library.

After working through some issues (config and tools), everything now looks
clean and I didn't pick up any issues.

NOTES:

 - this series needs the latest lttng 2.9.x -stable release, which was
   posted to oe-core on Sunday February 26th.

 - I'll send follow up patches to poky/yocto-bsps to update the bbapends
   and kernels there.

 - You'll note that I'm not dropping the 4.8 recipes in this series, since
   there are still reference BSPs that indicate it as the preferred
   version. I need to get the reference BSP maintainers to bump the versions
   and then I'll drop 4.9.

 - As in the past, if folks are concerned about the amount of space the
   linux-yocto versions are taking up, we can investigate shallow clones, or
   I can do a versioned branching structure. Either of those options can be
   done after this version bump is in-tree, since it is a separate topic.

 - I'll also be sending -stable updates for 4.1, 4.9 and 4.10 separately
   in the next few days.

Cheers,

Bruce
